June 22, 2009Categories: Classified InformationDOJ: AIPAC case witness was asked to 'fake...suicide'Two people asked a Pentagon official cooperating with prosecutors in an investigation into the American Israel Public Affairs Committee to fake his own death to avoid testifying against two pro-Israel lobbyists charged in the case, according to the Justice Department.

Pentagon analyst Lawrence Franklin pled guilty in October 2005 to participating in a conspiracy with AIPAC officials Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman to obtain and distribute classified information. The Justice Department dropped the case against Rosen and Weissman last month as a trial approached.

"Just prior to the entry of his guilty plea, Franklin was approached by two individuals who made a pitch to Franklin about faking his death by suicide and disappearing, thus thwarting any cooperation in the case against Rosen and Weissman," prosecutors wrote in a brief filed in connection with a motion to reduce the 12-year prison term Franklin was originally sentenced to.

"In January 2006, Franklin conducted five consensually recorded telephone conversations with one of these individuals, in support of an obstruction of justice/witness tampering investigation; however, the FBI was unable to obtain the requisite incriminating evidence to support a criminal investigation," the Justice Department brief said.

Lawyers for Franklin also cited his report of the apparent tampering effort as part of their arguments for reducing Franklin's sentence. The government recommended lowering Franklin's sentence to about nine years imprisonment. Franklin's team asked for probation. Judge T.S. Ellis, who imposed the first 12-year prison term several years ago, re-sentenced Franklin to probation and 10 months home confinement. (The Pentagon official never started his original sentence; he had been free pending Rosen and Weissman's trial.)

The alleged witness tampering was first reported by POLITICO following Franklin's re-sentencing earlier this month.

A lawyer for Weissman, Baruch Weiss, said today he knew nothing about the alleged incident.

"If there was any witness tampering it wasn't by us. We had zero contact with Larry Franklin through all of this. That's true for us, our lawyers and anybody acting on our behalf. It’s totally surprising to me," Rosen said.

An AIPAC spokesman also denied knowledge of or involvement in the alleged approach to Franklin.

All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately

Because we all know how honest AIPAC is, right?

God, this makes me sick.... this stuff is just right out there in the open for all to see, and yet no one is talking about it!!!

Many thanks for the bump-up from the coach-class of the Faux Section, to First-Class sticky-blue, Sane!

It is unreal that this story is flying under the radar, even with all the other stories being covered this week.

No problem, thans fr finding this, I have not seen it anywhere and it speaks to how insane AIPAC has become.

I cannot believe this f-ing shit. First Pelosi squashes the spy case without a whisper from the press and now this shit.

AIPAC is a war mongering Non Government Organization (NGO... like the CFR, AEI, PNAC, Brookings, Heritage, etc.). These globalist agenda groups are completely against sovereign countries. They write about it all the time. They do not act on behalf of anyone but the International Banking Elite that profits from unnecessary wars.

How many AIPAC members need to get caught for treason before the entire organization is suspect? I mean what the hell, this is complete bullshit!

It kind of seems like you wrote this to take the focus away from the fact that they're a pro-Israel Jewish organization. That's like the kind of stuff that Alex does. & what you wrote is not accurate, the Heritage Foundation is very nationalistic, anti-illegal immigration and all that. Also very imperialist.

A. K. Chesterton once said: "The proper study of political mankind is the study of power elites, without which nothing that happens could be understood."

He added: "These elites, preferring to work in private, are rarely found posed for photographers, and their influence upon events has therefore to be deduced from what is known of the agencies they employ."

Chesterton described those agencies: "Their goal was to work through such agencies, and financial support received from one or other or all three big American foundations--Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Ford -- provides an infallible means of recognizing them."

The Rockefellers made $200,000,000.00 from World War I. Henry Kissinger's brother Walter heads the Allen Group. The super-wealthy (with the exception of some Du Ponts and the Fords) have long supported the Republican Party -- the party of plutocratic oligarchy. "If not kings themselves, they are king-makers." They have quick access to the White House no matter who is President. Other super-rich, such as the Rockefellers, affiliate with the Democratic Party. Politics in the U.S., no matter what party, is under the control of the super-rich, large corporations and the international bankers.

A.K. Chesterton said in Candour: "At times Capitalism and Communism would appear to be in conflict, but this writer is confident that their interests are in common and will eventually merge for one-world control. That policy outlined previously in Woodrow Wilson's Point Six has never been dropped.

"Capitalism and Communism, in terms of power, are merely their twin mechanisms to destroy the sovereignty of Christian nations. They will merge them into the projected super-state, where their financial power will exercise full sway and masterdom through that monopoly of atomic energy which is being sought with such feverish and fiendish persistence. They are selling us into slavery and using our material resources for their own nefarious world-wide purposes. To say that in exposing their plans for world domination we are playing the Kremlin's game is to act as an unconscious agent of Christendom's betrayal." (1)

Paul Weyrich

Paul Weyrich is considered by conservative Powers That Be as the most powerful man in American politics today. Weyrich allegedly founded the immensely influential conservative think tank, Heritage Foundation, in 1973 with funding from Joseph Coors of the Coors beer empire and Richard Mellon-Scaife, heir of the Carnegie-Mellon fortune. (2)

Over the past 25 years, Heritage has also been funded by private foundations such as Pew Charitable Trust which also funded many GOALS 2000 initiatives. William Greider's bestseller, Who Will Tell the People: The Betrayal of American Democracy reveals other benefactors: "Not withstanding its role as 'populist' spokesman, Weyrich's organization, for instance, has received grants from Amoco, General Motors, Chase Manhattan Bank [David Rockefeller] and right-wing foundations like Olin and Bradley." (3)

Paul Weyrich served as President of Heritage Foundation until 1974 when he founded the Committee for the Survival of a Free Congress (which he heads today as the Free Congress Foundation). Heritage Foundation guided the Reagan administration during its period of transition and Joe Coors served in the President's "Kitchen Cabinet." During its first year, the Reagan administration adopted fully two-thirds of the recommendations of Heritage's Mandate for Leadership: Policy Management in a Conservative Administration.

John Saloma's Ominous Politics, refers to Heritage as a "shadow government" noting that "[Heritage President] (Edwin) Feulner also served on the Reagan transition executive committee (fourteen other Heritage staff and board members also had transition appointments), but declined to join the administration." (4)

A 1995 Wall Street Journal observed the formidable influence of the Heritage Foundation on government policies since the Reagan era: "WASHINGTON -- With the Republicans' rise to control Congress, think-tank power in the nation's capital has shifted to the right. And no policy shop has more clout than the conservative Heritage Foundation."When GOP congressional staffers met in June with conservative leaders to help map current legislative efforts to cut federal funding for left-leaning advocacy groups, the closed-door meeting took place at Heritage headquarters. The group's involvement wasn't unusual. 'Heritage is without question the most far-reaching conservative organization in the country in the war of ideas.' House Speaker Newt Gingrich said early this year."Think tanks have long churned out studies that have wound up in official policy proposals. During Democratic times of power, the more liberal Brookings Institution has been a leading player here. Now, the 21-year-old Heritage Foundation, which rose to prominence in the Reagan years, is taking academic involvement to a new level."Over the first 100 days of the current GOP Congress, Heritage scholars testified before lawmakers 40 times--more than any other organization, Hill staffers say. Its scholars are credited by congressional members and staff as key architects of the House-passed welfare-overhaul plan and with inspiring some provisions in the GOP balanced-budget plan. 'They talk to me sometimes 12 times a week,' said Heritage budget analyst Scott Hodge earlier this year, explaining his ties to the staff of the House Budget Committee. 'We--I mean House members--are putting together a final list of cuts.'" (5)

Facist Connections

Paul Weyrich - considered the architect and mainstay of the conservative revolution - calls for "reclaiming the culture" and a "second American Revolution." A look at the inflammatory, extremist rhetoric with racial and Inquisitorial overtones on the Free Congress Foundation web site should alarm Christians as to Weyrich's real intent:

THE NEXT REVOLUTION"Are we on the verge of a second American Revolution? In the old Soviet Union, the government seemed all-powerful – until one day it fell."Next Revolution is one of the most radical – and most popular – programs on America's Voice. Each week, hosts Bill Lind and Brad Keena say what people are thinking but are often afraid to say: that the cultural Marxism of Political Correctness is destroying our country, that "multicultural" nations break apart in civil war, and that uncontrolled immigration and rising crime are turning America into a Third World nation. They ask the "forbidden" questions: is real reform still possible, or will a new Revolution be necessary to restore America’s traditional – and very successful – culture? Is the United States Government still a legitimate government? Is "racism" the real problem or do cries of racism arise as a result of bad behavior by minority groups?"VICTORIA"Can America in fact go the way of Bosnia? Is 'Civil War II' part of our future? Is that what it will take to rescue our culture? Bill Lind is now working to answer these questions in a book-length version of Victoria – a novel in the form of a 'future memoir' that will rock and shock the 'Politically Correct' Establishment..."She was not a particularly bad bishop. She was, in fact, quite typical of Episcopal bishops of the first quarter of the 2lst-century -- agnostic, compulsively political and radical, and given to placing a small idol of Isis on the altar when she said the Communion service. By 2037, when she was tried, convicted and burned for heresy, she had outlived her era. By that time only a handful of Episcopalians still recognized female clergy, and it would have been easy enough to let the old fool rant out her final years in obscurity. But we are a people who do our duty."I well remember the crowd that gathered for the execution -- solemn, but not sad, relieved that at last, after so many years of humiliation, the majority had taken back the culture. Civilization had recovered its nerve. The flames that soared above the lawn before the Maine statehouse that August afternoon were, as the bishopess herself might have said, liberating."[Note: Since posting our expose, the promotional for The Next Revolution has been removed on the new Free Congress Foundation web site. On the home page, About FCF states , "Each week, you can join us for "Next Revolution," the show dedicated to fighting multi-culturalism and political correctness." However, the program is not listed and no information given on the TV Programs page to which the visitor is referred.]

Paul Weyrich is a Melkite Greek Catholic whose personal background abounds with ties to Nazi collaborators and neo-fascist organizations. These well-documented facts do not seem to concern the U.S. Government, whose agencies have also been infiltrated by post World War II Nazi emigres. [For documentation of the CIA-Nazi connection, please see the Watch Unto Prayer report on The John Birch Society.]

In the 1970s, Weyrich and Coors made appointments and set up political contacts on Capitol Hill for Franz Joseph Strauss, Bavarian head of state who helped emigre Nazi collaborators. Another fascist, Roger Pearson, writer and organizer for the Nazi Northern League of northern Europe, joined the editorial board of Policy Review, the monthly Heritage publication in 1977. The Coors Connection notes in a caption under an illustration of Pearson's Eugenics And Race: "Dr. Roger Pearson's racialist theories are circulated worldwide by neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizations." (6)

Pearson was brought to the U.S. in 1965 by Willis Carto, founder of the neo-fascist Institute for Historical Review (which denies the Holocaust) and the anti-Semitic Liberty Lobby, which publishes the weekly Spotlight newspaper. Pearson left Heritage after a Washington Post expose of the racist/fascist orientation of the World Anti-Communist League. Pearson chaired the American branch, the Council on American Affairs from 1975-80, as well as the WACL from 1978-79. The following brief mention of Roger Pearson on the British Eugenics Society web site is an indicator of his abiding contribution to pure racial breeding: "Hans K. Gunther, a Nazi anthropologist and eugenicist... was assisted by Roger Pearson of the Eugenics Society, an important figure on the racist journal, Mankind Quarterly... Mankind Quarterly is a racist journal still pumping out venom in 1994, still influenced by Roger Pearson. Josef Mengele's co-researcher at Auschwitz, Von Verschuer, was on the editorial advisory board of this journal before his death in 1970."Paul Weyrich also sponsored and currently works closely with Laszlo Pasztor, a convicted Austrian Nazi-collaborator whose Coalitions of the Americas is housed as a subsidiary in the Free Congress Foundation, the political arm of Heritage Foundation. Martin Lee's book, The Beast Reawakens, refers to Pasztor as Weyrich's right hand man: "In addition to homegrown agitators who dredged up anti-Semitic motifs that harkened back to the 1930s, some countries had to contend with groups that were led or supported by profascist exiles who repatriated from the West where they had carried on as vocal anti-Communists during the Cold War, often with CIA support. The Free Congress Foundation, founded by American far right strategist Paul Weyrich, became active in eastern European politics after the Cold War. Figuring prominently in this effort was Weyrich's right-hand man, Laszlo Pasztor, a former leader of the pro-Nazi Arrow Cross organization in Hungary, which had collaborated with Hitler's Reich. After serving two years in prison for his Arrow Cross activities, Pasztor found his way to the United States, where he was instrumental in establishing the ethnic-outreach arm of the Republican national Committee." (7)A recent SCOOP newsletter from the Heritage related National Center for Public Policy Research mentions foreign and defense policy meetings chaired by Laszlo Pasztor. NCPPR is a conservative communications and research foundation which also sponsors Wednesday luncheons frequently chaired by Weyrich and Pasztor.

Moon Connection

The 1975 Congressional investigation of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA) activities in the U.S. noted a connection between Heritage and the Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Edwin J. Feulner, Jr. was recruited in 1977 by Richard Scaife to become Heritage president, a position he holds today: "The report of the investigation noted, 'In 1975, Ed Feulner ... was introduced to KCIA station chief Kim Yung Hwan by Neil Salonen and Dan Feffernan of the Freedom Leadership foundation.' Salonen was head of Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church in the United States. The Freedom Leadership Foundation (FLF), a political arm of Moon's Unification network was linked to the World Anti-Communist League (WACL). The FLF was described as 'an organization to be used to achieve KCIA objectives,' by the Congressional report, which was based on a KCIA document that discussed FLF." (8)In the early 1980s, the KCIA began making donations to Heritage Foundation. In turn, Heritage established an Asian Studies Center which The Nation magazine of 1/23/89 states "has quartered apologists for [So. Korean Prime Minister] Chun's regime." (9)

The Wall Street Journal of August 1995 does not mention Sun Myung Moon, but references the Korea Foundation, one of Heritage's largest donors and an affiliate of the South Korean government. The article clearly states that Heritage Foundation promotes and actually writes pro-Korean legislation: "Heritage scholars, for example, have drafted specific language for legislation that would help South Korea by encouraging the U.S. to include Seoul more directly in U.S. dealings with North Korea. Meantime, one of Heritage's largest donors, the Korea Foundation, is an affiliate of the South Korean government, according to Yoo Lee, a spokesman for South Korea's embassy here. Heritage's President Edwin Feulner says he isn't aware that the Korea Foundation is an arm of their government...

"While Heritage has gotten most of its attention on domestic issues, it also has been an active proponent for an array of trade and other policies supported by South Korea and Taiwan. Such efforts, it says, reflects "the growing importance of the Asia-Pacific community." In December, Heritage scholar Daryl Plunk provided language for a draft resolution, essentially calling for the administration to adopt a U.S. policy more in line with the wishes of South Korea, to Colorado GOP Rep. Scott McInnis. Rep McInnis, who last year was escorted on a trip to South Korea by Mr. Plunk, introduced a provision in Congress containing similar language.

"Heritage's Mr. Feulner himself has taken an active role in promoting South Korean issues in Congress through actions such as testifying before committees to promote the think tank's pro-South Korea positions. Meantime, one in six of Heritage's 24 known major donors last year -- gifts of $100,000 or more -- were Taiwanese or South Korean concerns. Over the past three years, Heritage has received nearly $1 million from the Korea Foundation which is funded by South Korea's Foreign Ministry, says the embassy's Mr. Lee." (10)The Heritage offices in Washington, D.C. have housed and employed a number of Unification Church operatives: "Heritage's Director of Administration in 1980 was Michael Warder, who was a key leader of Moon's Unification network in the United States ..."Christian Voice is one Moon-connected group that has operated out of the Heritage building. A 'former' Moon operative, Gary Jarmin, attacked critics of Moon and gave an interview to a Moon-controlled newspaper after he joined the Christian Voice (CV) staff. CV's chair, Robert Grant, has been a leader of Moon's Unification network front groups such as the American Freedom Coalition, which fundraised for Oliver North." (11)In the 1970s, Richard Viguerie became the direct-mail fundraiser for Weyrich's Committee for Survival of a Free Congress. Viguerie developed the direct-mail enterprise into a mult-million dollar business which has used its considerable power to influence the election of conservative candidates for political office. During the 70s, Viguerie trained a political cadre and established, staffed, and funded new organizations, transforming the New Right into "an institutionalized, disciplined, well-organized, and well-financed movement of loosely-knit affiliates" that formed a political base for the conservative revolution of the next decade.

In 1976, Weyrich, Viguerie and Howard Phillips attempted a takeover of the American Independent Party and, in the wake of failure, turned to Jerry Falwell to form the Moral Majority. When Rev. Moon was indicted in 1981 for fraud and criminal tax evasion, Falwell unexpectedly joined with other religious leaders to present an amicus curiae, (friend of the court) brief on behalf of the Reverend Moon. A 1987 Seattle Times explained "How Rev. Moon Got Ensconced with the New Right" via Paul Weyrich's network: "Ron Godwin, an influential former vice president of Falwell's Moral Majority, is one of several who experienced a conversion.

"Eighteen months later, Godwin joined the Moonie - owned Washington Times as a senior vice president, where he also serves as emissary to conservative Christian leaders.

"Then there's Richard Viguerie, until recently more than $1.5 million in debt, according to Fairfax, Va., court records. They indicate that in mid-October the U.S. Property Development Corp. paid $10.06 million to 7777 Associates for the suburban Virginia office building including Viguerie's headquarters. Viguerie owned 72 percent of 7777 Associates, according to Virginia records, and U.S. Property's president is Moon's right-hand man, Bo Hi Pak.

"Viguerie now serves with Abernathy on the five-man board of the Moonie-dominated American Freedom Coalition. The coalition, which claims a 'house list' of more than 300,000 member-contributors, is also Viguerie's biggest new direct-mail client." (12)More recently, when Falwell's Liberty University was in danger of bankruptcy, Sun Myung Moon came to the rescue through one of his front groups, which funnelled $3.5 million to the Reber-Thomas Christian Heritage Foundation which had purchased the school's debt of $73 million. Ron Godwin, former executive director of the Moral Majority, and now vice president of Moon's Washington Times, accompanied Falwell to South Korea in January of 1994 for a meeting with representatives of the Unification Church.

Communist Connection

Following the historic Reagan/Gorbachev meeting at the Geneva Summit and prior to Gorbachev's visit to the U.S. in 1986, Heritage President Edwin Feulner was appointed by President Reagan as Chairman of the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy. The Commission's report to the Congress and the President on the U.S. Information Agency and the activities of the U.S. Government concerning public diplomacy included the following recommendation for expediting a signed Soviet/American Educational Exchange Agreement: "Exchanges and International Visitors: The Commission urges USIA, the Department of State, and the relevant private sector organizations to move quickly to develop specific programs for U.S.-Soviet exchanges pursuant to the General Exchanges accord, other exchange initiatives undertaken at the Geneva Summit, and the agreement by President Reagan and General Secretary Gorbachev to review these programs at their next meeting."The report stated "The U.S.-Soviet exchanges agreement negotiated by USIA and signed at Geneva will expand academic, cultural and scientific exchanges, including Fulbright scholars and teachers..." A Five Minute Report quoted Feulner as having said, "We should permit Soviet journalists to speak to American people and the U.S., in turn, be permitted to bring ideas and perspectives to the Soviets."

In 1995, Charlotte Iserbyt identified conservative "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing" who not only gave the Soviets access to American education, but whose act of treason "virtually merged the two educational systems." Leading the pack for an educational exchange initiative were: "Edwin Feulner, President of Heritage Foundation, strongly supported the U.S.-Soviet education agreements, has an office in Moscow, supports Soviet-style magnet schools (i.e., tax supported choice/charter schools), and has state affiliate organizations across the nation writing charter school legislation that reads like it has been written by the U.S. Department of Education, the Carnegie Corporation and the National Education Association..."Paul Weyrich's American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) gave an award to Oregon's Department of Education for its education reform, especially the work force training component and its certificate of initial mastery (CIM) necessary to get a job. Weyrich has served as an advisor to Russian President Boris Yeltsin of recent Chechnyan genocide fame. In 1986 he wrote an article in The Washington Post which virtually recommended a new Constitution and form of government for the U.S." (13)

U.N. Connection

The Heritage mission statement describes the foundation as a "research and educational institute -- a think tank -- whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense." Since Heritage claims to have never compromised its traditional values, it may surprise other conservatives that the 1993 U.S. Commission on Improving the Effectiveness of the United Nations included Edwin Feulner. A 1993 Mantooth Report revealed: "Sixteen people, drawn from the public and private sectors, have been busy with plans to 'reinvent the world.' Not the U.S. government - its the UN world government."The purpose of this group, a commission established by Congress, was to hold hearings and study ways to make the U.N. more effective in the post-Cold War world, and a world needing a firm hand in the 21st Century..."The membership of the Commission is a motley crew, a diverse and suspect collection of one world believers. We'll start with Walter Hoffman. He is Executive Vice President of the World Federalist Association, and co-Treasurer of the Commission."Secretary of the Commission is Harris O. Schoenberg. He is Director of the United Nations Affairs for B'nai B'rith International, and into a lot of other things. There are religionists and bankers and, of course, Jeanne J. Kirkpatrick, who needs no introduction. And there's a smattering of CFR members. And there are New Right and Sovereign Military Order of Malta..."Edwin J. Feulner, Jr. and Charles M. Lichenstein were appointed by the House Minority Leader. Feulner is President of the Heritage Foundation. Paul Weyrich was founder of Heritage, and its assortment of 'fellows' became powerful enough to issue the mandates that ran the Reagan and Bush administrations. Weyrich is strategist for all the so-called New Right organizations which he steers behind the political objectives of leaders reaching for the world."You always find Feulner in a vital position to advance these objectives. Lichenstein is a 'Distinguished Fellow' of Heritage, a long-time Republican activist who has held senior positions in the Nixon and Ford Administrations. Under Reagan he was attached to the Security Council."If you haven't already figured it out, what we've been describing here is a tight group representing the merger of the left and the right.

ENDNOTES

All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately

To understand why various "Conservative/Christian" organizations in Washington State as well as every other state in the nation have been less than stunning in their battle for Parents Rights and Family Values in public education, it is necessary to examine the financial contributions or "scientific giving" and patronage of the Rockefeller family, through their family members, various businesses and foundations to social causes over the past century. Bearing in mind that, "He who pays the piper calls the tune," a single-minded piper with very deep pockets can control ALL the tunes, regardless of which band is playing.

We'll start with history from a century ago. One of the early philanthropies of the Rockefellers was the 1903 creation and funding of the General Education Board that focused on controlling education of minority populations in the rural south. During these early days of involvement they also founded and funded Columbia Teachers College in New York City to train teachers in the new science of behavioral psychology pioneered by Wundt in Leipzig and John B. Watson here in the U.S. The Rockefeller children had their personal education supervised by the well-known humanist/socialist progressive educator, John Dewey. After the successful Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 Dewey spent considerable time in the newly created USSR and helped the brand new commissars devise their school system.

In 1921 the Council on Foreign Relations was founded by the global-minded Rockefellers and other like-minded individuals. There has been a cloud of controversy surrounding the CFR since it's inception. Great personal wealth and a drive for power in all spheres of society and business have been the hallmark of it's membership from the beginning. If there is an "Elite" in our representative republic, the membership of the CFR represents the "Elite", if only to themselves. The list of media moguls, appointed and elected national politicians, military leaders, etc. goes on for pages and pages.

These people, through elected and appointed positions, have been "leading" this nation since the 1920s and if anyone considers the decline of America to have begun 60 years ago, various members of the CFR can be "thanked" for it. Regarding CFR members' participation in setting up the United Nations at the close of WWII, ". . .who would shape American policy in the postwar era, the best and brightest of their time and place, but who, outside their own elite world, were virtually anonymous." 1.In the mid-1920s the Rockefeller's General Board of Education evolved into the International Bureau of Education and formed a partnership with UNESCO (the United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organization) when it was formed shortly after World War II. The Rockefellers so strongly supported creation of the United Nations that they specially purchased then donated the New York City real estate where the towering UN is located.

In 1948 the Rockefeller Foundation made a four year grant to Harvard University Department of Economics to develop a mathematically-based method for a totally predictable Planned Economy through social engineering techniques. This program was called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars technology. It involves intensive control and manipulation of the masses through media, markets, advertising, labor and wages, and public education. 2.

In the early 1950s Tennessee Congressman, Carroll Reece, chaired an investigation into the subversive activities of tax-exempt foundations. The overwhelming evidence compiled by Director of Research, Norman Dodd, was that the vast wealth of the foundations was being funneled into activities that promoted a socialist Anti-American worldview. In 1953 Rowan Gaither, president of the Ford Foundation, personally confided to Norman Dodd, "The substance of the directives under which we operate is that we shall use our grant-making power to alter life in the United States so that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union."(The directives emanated, according to Gaither, from the White House which has been staffed over the past 60 years with an unbroken chain of CFR members in key positions, regardless of Democrat /Republican rhetoric.)

The Rockefeller Foundations' activities were found to line up exactly with Gaither's admissions and are well-documented in Congressman Reece's hearings and can be ordered from the Superintendent of Documents in Washington D.C. The entire text of this series of these hearings is voluminous and contains thousands of pages. It is also available on microfilm at the University of Washington library.

In mid-1960s the Rockefeller-funded International Bureau of Education and UNESCO discovered an ideal education vehicle for their Silent Weapon model developed by the Harvard Department of Economics. This is the Lifelong Learning model, that as Educational Restructuring, we are experiencing today. Over the next decade the IBE UNESCO partnership published many books expounding and refining every facet of the Lifelong Learning model. Many of these books serve as evidence in the video "The People vs. the Educational Confederacy, Educational Restructuring on Trial". These publications are on the shelves at the University of Washington library.

Culturally, we look back to the 1950s, and early 1960s when the majority of Americans, many veterans of WWII and Korea, were traditional nuclear families and carried out their daily lives with minimal interest in the political life of the nation or the world, catching the nightly news and reading the newspapers to keep current, but not intensely involved. This great majority of the population was dubbed the Silent Majority.

A Silent Majority of sensible, responsible people who believe in the integrity of their elected officials and system of government is not conducive to "moving the United States towards a merger with the Soviet Union." Such a merger requires intense emotional and financial upheaval of vast populations, here in America and in the Soviet Union, as well. In order to have a social revolution and manipulate an entire people into a new social order, it is necessary to incite them to the point of activism due to heightened perceptions of threatening issues. Nuclear holocaust, ecology, feminism, gay rights, abortion, euthanasia, drugs and crime are issues that have become headlines during this process of fomenting revolution. This manipulation is basic to Marx's Dialectical Materialism where opposing forces are pitted against each other relentlessly until the crisis point where, to avert cataclysm, a preconceived but carefully obscured compromise is enacted and the desired "synthesis" has been achieved, in this case, the Planned Economy and different social order, on a global scale.

One successful tactic has been to change the public perception of the Republican party. Republicans, always considered the party of Big Business interests, have supposedly become morally "traditional", appearing to trumpet and champion issues close to the hearts of the Silent Majority. The demographics of the Silent Majority had been carefully mapped using the sociological component of the Rockefeller financed Silent Weapons developed by the Harvard Dept. of Economics in the early 1950s.

Under intense manipulation, the Silent Majority could remain silent no longer. Successful recruitment and control of a large and emotionally volatile group requires careful rhetoric and skill. It also requires strong central organization, leadership that is perceived as "moral", and lots and lots of money. There emerged one man who has been extremely successful over the past 20 years, quietly channeling the activities and loyalties of New Right activists in directions compatible with the desires of his money masters. Paul Weyrich, a Wisconsin born "conservative" first founded the Washington D.C. based think tank, Heritage Foundation, and served as it's president for a number of years.

In William Greider's bestseller, WHO WILL TELL THE PEOPLE: THE BETRAYAL OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY 3. reveals , "Not withstanding its role as 'populist' spokesman, Weyrich's organization, for instance, has received grants from Amoco, General Motors, Chase Manhattan Bank and right-wing foundations like Olin and Bradley." Remember, he who pays the piper calls the tune. If whoever funds your paycheck is your "boss", Weyrich is paid by multinational business to promote a multinational business agenda. It takes a heck of a stretch to maintain a pious pro-family demeanor with financial backing from these sources.

Ivy Lee, the public relations genius guiding the Rockefeller image in the first half of the century explained the successful manipulation in a nutshell, "Crowds are led by symbols and phrases. . .success in dealing with crowds. . .rests upon the art of getting believed in. We know that Henry the Eighth by his obsequious deference to forms of law was able to get the people to believe in him so completely that he was able to do almost anything with them." 4. In 1934 Lee was sent to Germany, assigned to design a positive public image for the Third Reich. He was subsequently called to account by the Special House Committee of UN-American Activities. Paul Weyrich and his Heritage affiliates, whether students of Lee's or not, apparently have attained mastery of the symbols and phrases of their target group---traditional Christians.

Weyrich then formed the Committee for the Survival of Free Congress Foundation making an emotional appeal to Protestant pastors that political activism is a mandate of patriotic Christianity, suggesting that New Right leadership be provided by organizations like Heritage Foundation and direct mail entrepreneur Richard Viguerie (who owes his financial solvency to the intervention of one of Rev. Sun Myung Moon's religio-political organizations. They, too, are actively "Reclaiming the Culture".)

Reclaiming the Culture has been the dominant theme of recent Heritage affiliated conservative organizations. Their outcry against evolution, abortion, and the political correctness brings fervent support from the masses. This certainly sounds like patriotic pro-family All-Americanism. Many stirring speeches have been made at Heritage sponsored fundraisers. Yet, the decidedly socialistic and unconstitutional concept of federal block grants to states is also touted as All-American. Weyrich & Co. supported NAFTA and GATT, two agreements that must be in place for Big Big Business and will, in time, destroy the economic stability of American families forever.

Pro-Family? The founding fathers of this nation did not advocate the pursuit of any agenda that disregards the Constitution. A global economy existed 200 years ago. Tea came from Asia then, as it does now. The founding fathers did not advocate a redistribution of wealth to promote a global economy and I believe they would have scorned the Heritage "level playing field" sales pitch for the hollow come-on it is.

Another Weyrich organization, The American Legislative Exchange Council, writes and disseminates "sample" legislation. In 1994 the self-proclaimed conservative pro-family American Legislative Exchange Council chose to honor one of the most radically anti-family socialist education reform plans in the nation, " Because of the state plan's scope and high standards, the American Legislative Exchange Council last month chose Oregon as one of eight states to receive its A+ award in education." 5.

This explains the resounding silence of the Heritage Foundation and it's affiliates in denouncing the National Center of Education and the Economy headed by Workforce designer Marc Tucker and his Carnegie cohort David Hornbeck. In addition to the usually targeted liberal board members, Hilary Clinton and Ira Magaziner, this NASDC funded design team included David Rockefeller, Jr. Heritage is obviously not about to bite the hand that feeds it. The above cited A+ award to the state of Oregon, pilot of Tucker's Certificate of Mastery plan, suggests that Weyrich, through the American Legislative Exchange Council is paying homage to the Rockefeller interest in Marc Tucker's Design Team. Vera Katz of Oregon is also on the NCEE board of Directors.

At the height of the Vietnam war David Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank accepted a Soviet invitation to open a representative bank in Moscow. "(The official address of the Moscow branch, somewhat incongruously, was 1 Karl Marx Square and it was located 1 block from the Kremlin)." 6. A footnote on page 426 of this same book amplifies that, "After the 1968 elections, the Russians let it be known through diplomatic channels that chances for rapprochement would be dramatically increased if David were ambassador."

Top men of the Heritage Foundation, Weyrich and his second in command, Ed Feulner, with the trust and cooperation of masses of sincerely committed conservatives have been in a position to further elitist Rockefeller goals. Along with radical World Government advocate, Walter Hoffman of the World Federalist Association, they participated on the 16 member U.S. Commission on Improving the Effectiveness of the United Nations. You can request a copy of their final report by contacting the Commission at 1825 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington D.C. 20009. (Phone: 202-673-5012. Fax: 202-673-5007). Working with the US Information Agency, Feulner also participated in facilitating the infamous 1985 US-Soviet Education Technology and Cultural Exchange Agreement. Soviet pedagogy, based on behavioral conditioning for a compliant collective labor force, is a dream come true for the dozens of multinational corporations funding all the think tanks promoting American education reform. The humanist Carnegie Foundation, a century-long collaborator with Rockefeller philanthropy, facilitated the Soviet side of this Exchange Agreement.

Americans AND Russians, we are all targets to be restructured / perestroika'd. Remember Gaither's assertion to Dodd . . . the merger of the United States multi-national corporations' version of "free enterprise" married to the Soviet-perfected collectivist workforce, described in 1953 is nearly complete. Will it be complete by the year 2000? Could there possibly be a new global entity managed by a "reinvented" United Nations?

With a state by state interlock of affiliates having a media-hyped public persona of Judeo-Christian morality, Heritage Foundation affiliates have skillfully marketed the specific facets of the socialist agenda of Rockefeller's International Bureau of Education-UNESCO agenda for education ie. Character Education and Choice/Vouchers or Charter Schools. Character Education was primary to humanist John Dewey's input into the Bolshevik school system and was the heart of Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution in Red China in the 1960s. Both of these systems are designed to condition compliance for the benefit of the collective's Workforce. UNESCO foresees an actual character evolution within the human species in coming generations where mankind will evolve into Homo Moralis. Heritage/Hudson/Empower America insider, Dr. William J. Bennett's bestseller, THE BOOK OF VIRTUES correlates as the New Right counterpart of Chairman Mao's Little Red Book.

The 1955 UNESCO book, MENTAL HEALTH IN EDUCATION, is the earliest reference for the need for "choice" in education. Choice, vouchers and Charter Schools are part of the octopus approach. It radically changes school governance and finance, diminishes local control and fulfills the "all children will...." mandate of the UNESCO inspired national goals. The Charter Schools concept, strongly marketed around the country by Heritage affiliates, attempts to link patriotic free enterprise themes to a blatantly un-constitutional system of corporate fascism business /governmental partnerships in the education of children. Wall Street is currently gearing up for a brand new field of investment---for-profit public education. Convicted junk bond dealer, Michael Miliken, has expressed enthusiasm for this new trend, "He told the Wall Street Journal on Friday that he's trying to build his own education company. 'If we are successful, I really believe you can have a $50 billion to $100 billion company in the field of education." 7.

As Americans we have a right and an obligation to political action, but Christians have a higher obligation. We must not join questionable coalitions or jump on any passing bandwagon that plays a catchy tune. Our home is not in this world, or of this world. Reclaiming the Culture is not a new agenda. Indeed, there were many Israelites fighting to "Reclaim the Culture" when Jesus Christ walked the pavements of Jerusalem. They were not followers of our Lord Jesus. They wanted no part of Him or his plan of salvation. They were followers of men like Eleazar the Zealot who ultimately led his people to their fatal end on the ramparts of Masada nearly 2000 years ago.

Make your stand for what is right, but be very careful of man's institutions, be wary of coalitions, examine the money-trail. . . for whoever pays the piper calls the tune, the tune the whole world will dance to in the 21st Century.

. . . and one final quote from the Heritage Foundation founder that illustrates his true views of our Constitutional Representative Republic:

"Our current system institutionalizes amateurism. Unlike European parliamentary democracies, we have no 'shadow cabinet', no group of experts who are groomed by their party for decades before they take high office...

"...If we are going to be a serious nation, we need a serious system for selecting our leaders and advisors, we need some sort of shadow government (emphasis added, ed.), in which leaders and top advisors can be developed, and through which our politics can be better focused on policy choices. The world is a professional league, and we cannot win fielding amateur teams." ~ Paul M. Weyrich in the Washington Post, 3/8/87

All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately

The only surprising thing here is that they didn't just do it for him.

bwaaaahahahaha - actually I got chills, who here denies that this is actually surprising. WTF has happened to our justice system where it is almost understood and accepted that whistleblowers have an exponentially higher mortality rate than the average citizen.

Yeah the average Joe has forgotten about the D.C. Madam's "Suicide" as well. What tremendous luck for all those viagra popping politicians, eh?
